Each record is a transcript and an image of the original parish register of the baptism.

The amount of information included varies, but the Shropshire Baptism records may include some or all of the following information about your ancestor:

• Full name of individual being baptised
• Date of birth
• Date of baptism
• Place of baptism
• Names of parents
• Occupation of parents
• Place of residence
• Religious denomination

The record set comprises 1,133,580 baptisms from the diocese of Shropshire, England.

These records date from 1538 to 1900.

Baptism records state the date and place an individual was baptised into a church, and are an essential part of researching your family history. In most records, the parents of the individual being baptised are included, and these are often the key to finding out the names of the previous generation.

Salop is the old name for the West Midlands county of Shropshire, the county town is Shrewsbury. It was renamed Shropshire by order of the county council in 1980.
